I am trying to see how to run some of the tests on the bsd-port of jdk. 7. There is something which may seem too obvious for words to someone immersed in the platform, but I do not see it. I have seen several documents on running the JavaTest harness. For example, see: http://openjdk.java.net/groups/conformance/docs/JCK6bUsersGuide/html/p13.html
There is always a step skipped, the one where one selets a test suite. How is a test suite identified? Seeing http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/JCPtools2/CtorTests.java , I guessed that it would override javasoft.sqe.javatest.lib.MultiTest. Nope. Does it include the word "Suite" in its source? Grepped for that and did not find much. Grepped for "Test" and found too much to read through. In the document referenced above, I see this: 1. Choose Start a new test run on the Welcome to the JavaTest Harness screen. Click Next 2. Choose Create a new configuration on the Configuration screen. Click Next. When I run 'java -jar javatest.jar' and select the 'File->Open Quick Start Wizard...' menu option, and select 'Start a new test run' and hit <Next>, I get a window that says "Which test suite do you want to use?" I guess this would be step 1 and 1/2. So, what test suite do I want to use? thanx - ray
